In rp, terse langumage he denied the motion of Attorneys William H. Metson | and John J, Barrett that an immediate | trial be given the indicted Mayor. Judge Dunne saw plainly through the trick of the defense. When court opened the Ma peared with his trio of lawy Met- son, Barrett and Frank Drew. Metson spoke first, then Barrett chimed in, with a request for an immediate hear- | ing. Special Prosecutor Hiram John- | son opposed the motion on the ground that the Schmitz force was not showing good faith and that it would be im- possible for the court to grant trial to the Mayor while his partner in the indictment, Ruef, was still contesting the validity of the joint indictment. Henry Ach of counsel for Ruef, | whispered to Barrett. Then Barret! addressed the court. “I will request, he said, “that Mr. Ruef postpone the | hearing of his motion to set aside the indictment, leaving the court open to hear the other matte ES THROUGH SCHEME Judge Dunne saw through the sub-| ap- | yor SE terfuge immediately. “Your remarks, Mr. Barrett,” sald the Court, “indicate to me what your real attitude is in this case and I refuse to grant your motion.” Then the Mayor, Metson, Barrett and Drew withdrew from the court and Boss Ruef and his legal forces agaim took up the tedious technical fight be- ing made against the Indictments.$ Grand Juror Alfred Greenebaum was on the witness stand from 10:30 to 12:30 and from 2 until 4:30, but not one of the questions put by Ach drew forth an answer that threw the slightest shadow on the indictments pending against the Mayor and his corrupt broker. It was the most tiresome day in all the proceedings. The only life in the desert of interrogations came when- ever Judge Dunne stopped the ques- tioning to rebuke Ach for his violent | tactics toward the witness and the | Court. | Judge Dunne was the vivacious feature of the day. He early adopted | a stern and strict rule in his dealings| with the dilatory defendants. When Metson was trying to convey the idea that his client wanted an immediate and speedy trial the Court promised him all he asked for—in good and legal time. COULD SIT AT NIGHT “I do not see how a decision can be given in this matter,” the Judge said, “until the other defendant submits his | case. But then I can assure you of an | immediate trial. I am perfectly will- ing to hoid night sessions of the court in order that the case of the defend- ant Schmitz can be submitted expe- ditiously to’the jury.” This promise aroused Barrett to a pitch of excitement, and he loudly pro- claimed the desire of the defense to make any concession to the District At- torney’s office which might lead to an early trial. “That is the purest bluff,” cried Hi- ram Johnson, rising to his feet amd addressing the bench. “It is a sham, a delusion and a snare for one defendant to demand an immediate trial when his | co-defendant is imposing every techni- | While defendant Schmitz is in a po- sition In which he could appeal to his| eo-defendant Ruef to ve him set | aside his technical attack on the in-| dictments, he stands and says, ‘T want a speedy trial, but my bad co-defend- ant won't step aside and let me have it’ That position does not commend itself to good sense.” After Schmitz and his futile quibbles were out of the way Ach took the floor on behalf of Ruef and began his bait- ing of the grand jurors. Alfred Greene- baum was his victim for the day, and because he had served his city by re- turning an indictment against the French restaurant blackmailers Greenebaum had to sit on the witness stand for four and a half hours and his possible bias. JUROR NOT BIASED The substance of Ach’s interrogations | and Greenebaum’'s answegs was that | the juror had read the mewspaper ac- counts of the graft investigation and | of the dismissal of District Attorney\ Langdon by acting Mayor Gallagher,; but had not been influenced one way or another by the articles.

Fourteen freight trains out of sixteen scheduled were han- dled. All trains scheduled on the Vic- toria division and on the Texas and New Orleans east of this city were op- erated. The same was trus, accord- ing to the reports, on the El Paso di- vision west of San Antonio. In view of this Traflic Manager C. K. Dunlap has issued notices on all points to accept both local and through | freignt. At Lobo, near El Paso, Engineer Kutz is reported to have been assaulted and severely injured. H. E. Wiliis, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- | glneers, said today that his organiza- tion was thoroughly satisfied with the situation, and that all its members were going to do all in their power to maintain their contraet with the rail- | road company and keep the trains mov- ing.

Bed- ford in his statement says that the firemen are confident of winning the fight and that they have “assurances of the support of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the Order of Rail- way Conductors &nd the Order of Rail- way Telegraphers.” These orders e in full sympathy, the statement de- clares, with the firemen. “Beyond the fact that we leave their sense of justice to guide the engineers’ action, we have nothing to say about them,” the statement says. The statement declares that the fire- men will welcqme the Labor Commis- sioner, as they-‘“are willing now and have been urging arbitration for a month.” Trainmaster Wade of the El Paso division stated tonight that the pas- senger trains were moving on time and that the freight trains were going out as fast as they were made up. Speaking of the statement issued by | Bedford, Wade sald that there was no fuundn!ion for the allegation that the firemen had sought arbitration. He said that, on the contrary, they had re- fused the company’s offer to arbitrate the matter. “DNTH CURNES” 70 BE REMDNED Continued From Page 1, Column 7 continued and shall be subject to the penalty imposed by section § for each and every such separate offense. It would be a difficult task to calcu- late the number of days during which the lllegal curves have been main- tained, as some of them have been in existence for years. The entire section fixing the penalty is as follows: PENALTIES ARE MANY “Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the ‘provisions of this ordinance shall be gullty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not to exceed $500 or by imprisonment in the County Jail for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment; and such person, firm or corporation shall be gullty of a sep- arate offense for every day that such violation shall continue and shall be subject to the penalty imposed by this section,for each and every such sep- arate offense.” Duffey has instructed Attorney James A. Devoto to furnish him with an opinion as to the full authority of | the board to compel the United Rail- roads to relay its curves in compliance with the ordinance. While Duffey con- siders that the corporation has acted wrongfully, he desires, however, to ac- quaint himself thoroughly with the | legal aspect of the case before taking radical action against the corporation. “Our attorney furnished us receatly with an opinion that the United Rail- roads could build curves to connect its lines under the terms of \its franchises Britt Knocked Out by Cupld ’S;e—et Little Cher_ug Too Swift for Pugilist Jimmy Britt is not to meet Fitzgerald this week, for the prohable reason that he will be waiting at the church about the time he would be expected to weigh in.

James Coffroth and Cocky O’Brien at the Willis Cafe—the place that made Jimmy's brother famous—sit together as lonely companions because Jimmy is not there. They weep be-| cause the prize ring has lost such a clever man with the mitts. | WILLIS APPROVES | Brother Willis is somewhere in Mon- | terey County—at Del Monte or that lit- tle Portuguese hotel in West Watson- ville—but since he has learned that brother James is to wed he is hastening back to the city with all speed and ex- pects to arrive some time next year to at- tend the wedding. Willis met Miss A¥ymar when he was in the Hast with Jimmy to match Terry McGovern. Jimmy will need Willis' advice on whether he should travel with the show with which Miss Aymar is con- nected or whether she should forsake the footlights for Fillmore-street flats. “Spider” Kelley is the only omne in the city who does not know just where he stands on Miss Aymar’'s great match. “I have been behina Jimmy in every contest he has had,” said the lithesome second last evening, "“and I don’t think he will trow me down in this match.” But there was a plaintive note in the “Spider’s” voice. -<And the ushers at the theater are handing costly floral tributes to Miss ‘Aymar every nlghc They all bear the label “J.

I consider it a shame that a track should be only two feet and ten inches away from the curb, as is the case at Hayes and Stanyan streets, and the corporation should be taught that it cannot override the law with impunity.” If Duffey should recelve Devoto's opinion today that the Works Board is authorized to act in the matter, Duf- fey will at once make a personal in- spection with a view to locating all places where the curvés are laid flle- gally. He will then notify the com- pany to tear up and relay the tracks in accordance with I —_— SAN FRANCISOANS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—The following San Franciscans are in New York: Miss Carroll, M.

VATIGAN CENSURES MINISTER PIGHON French Statesman Accused of Untruths Concerning Expulsion of Montagnini IRELAND CRITICISED ROME, Dec. —Despite the denials of the French Government that it has I'made any reply regarding the Vati- can's protest to the powers on the sub- Ject of the expulsion from France of Monsignor Montagnini, until recently secretary of the papal nunciature at Paris, the Vatican has' been positively informed that M. Pichon, Minister of Foreign Affairs for France, has made verbal statements in answer to this protest to several diplomatic repre- sentatives at Paris, who telegraphed ‘the Minister'’s communication to their respective governments. According to the Vatican's authority, M. Pichon said that Monsignor Mon- tagnini had no diplomatic standing; that the papers sequestered at the nun- ciature were unimportant: that im- portant documents had been removed previously, and that as the French Government had not allowed the papal Bishops the Governmeént could not permit Monsignor Montagnini to do so. The Vatican now declares with au- | thority that the statement that docu- ments were removed from the nun- ciature before the building was searched was unfounded and calculated to deceive, and avers that the state- ment in question did not emanate from the Vatican, but from the French Gov- ernment. The local press has published the summary which appeared in the Paris Matin of the statement issued by Arch- bishop Ireland of St. Paul on the Fran- co-Vatican conflict. This summary has not found favor with the Vatican au- thorities, as it blames the French clergy, who are praised by the Pop The Osservatore Romano says thi summary should be accepted with re- serve as coming from -an infected source, and explains that the corre- spondent of the Matin in .New York may have misunderstood the Arch- bishop.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—The Record- Herald St. Petersburg dispatch say: Professor Maxim Kovalevsky, speak- ing of the situation in the Far East, said this morning: “I can affirm positively that the United States is the only power that is supporting the Japanese in their demands against us. I know that the general feeling in America is against Japan, so how can Mr. Root’s attitude be explained unless he desires to re- tain Japan's friendship until the American army and navy can be re- organized or until the Americans can penetrate beyond the Bering Straits.” “This supposition is based upon the fact that since Alaska proved to be a profitable investment Americans have made repeated attempts to obtain grants from Russla in the Bering and White Sea districts. My explanation is only an hypothesis, but Mr. Root's support of the Japanese is a fact of which the American people must have knowledge upon which they must pass judgment.” £ AR S MORE MONEY FOR EMPLOYES PITTSBURG, Dec. 26.—The employes in the blast furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenawgo valleys will receive an increase of 15 per cent in wages with the beginning of the year.

Cady Herrick of counsel for the Mutual Life Policy-holders’ Association saying he is willing now to take up the matter concerning ' charges against President Peabody of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of coercion in con- nection with the election of trustees of that company. These charges were brought to the attention of the District Attorney some time ago by Herrick. Jerome refused to act on them at the time on the ground that he did not want his office “used to influence the election of trus- tees in the Mutual Life. The District Attorney’s letter was referred by Judge Herrick to John Dewitt Warner, chief counsel for the | Policy-holders’ Association, who in turn handed it over to Russell W. Fish, secretary of the association. Fish, in a communication to Warner, sets forth the attitude of the association regard- ing Jerome's determination to take up the matter now. In it Fish says: As fo the attltude of this asseciation i bringing the enugu against Mr. Peabody, I| understand _you was to prevent the continulng of the Crlibe. of toerclon ot employes | in behalf of the administration #cket rather | than to bring about the punishment of a com- pleted crime after the criminal Lad profited | the fullest. | While the punishment of erfme fs Important and the association trusts thet the Distriet Attorney - will take up the matter vigorously, nevertheless, in view of the fact that the elec: tion Is over and—by Mr. Jerome's asquiescence —Mr. Peabody and his fellow-lawbreakers have already reaped the fruits of the illegal setion, so that our interest is only that of all citizens, we feel that any criminal action to be taken at this time is the concern of the District At- torney as such rather\ than ours.

ASKED BY SOGIETY MATRON Continued from Page 1, Column 5. few years ago in the tragic death of Albert Stetson, who was a brother of Mrs. Winslow, when he took his life under most distressing circumstances. Sallie Stetson was married to Wins- low on February 7, 1889, and the wed- ding was celebrated by a ceremony which will be remembered for the grandeur with which it was carried out. Two children were born to the | ‘Winslows, Ruth Louise and Anna Marie Loulse, who are now twelve and seven years old respectively. ! One of the causes for the break in| the happiness of the home is said to have been Mrs. Winslow's temper, | which led her to acts of violence to-| ward her husband. At the time he fin- ally left her and went to Portland she followed him, much to his surprise, and:‘ an angry scene was enacted in one of | the hotels of that city, which was the | talk of Portland soclety for many | weeks. | After that Mrs. Winslow was anxious | to effect a reconciliation, but all her advances were coldly received. Wins- low preferred life in the northern city | and would not alter his determination at the pleading of his wife. Mrs. Winslow has been active in many social affairs during the last two years and society has begun to take it for granted that the separation would become permanent without legal ac- tion. She took a leading part in the work of the Red Cross subsequent to the fire and rendered notable service during the days of the calamity. But| even here her temper was in evidence on several occasions, on which she con- | ducted herself in an overbearing man- | ner toward those with whom she came in contact in her work on the city front and again in Oakland. In the divorce complaint she alleges that Winslow has not comtributed to her support since he left her on No- vember 12, 1904, and she asks for ali- mony sufficient for the support of her- self and the two children. In addition | to the controlling interest in the firm | of C. R. Wilson & Co., the complaint | states that Winslow owns three valu- able pieces of land on Pacific avenue.
